Community Trigger

The Community Trigger was introduced in October 2014 to give victims and communities the right to request a review of their anti-social behaviour complaints, and brings agencies together to take a joined up, problem-solving approach to find a solution.

You can request a review of your anti-social behaviour complaint(s):

If you are a victim of anti-social behaviour (ASB), or another person acting on behalf of the victim such as a carer or family member, MP, councillor, or professional person. The victim could be an individual, a business, or a community group

If you have reported three times in the last six months separate, but related, anti-social behaviour incidents to agencies and the problem persists

If you are aware that other people in the local community have reported separate, but related, anti-social incidents to agencies in the last six months and the problem persists. The trigger will be started if five or more individuals have made separate, but related, reports in a six month period.

If you feel that the issue you are experiencing is relevant to the Community Trigger system and meets the criteria, you need to contact your local Community Safety Partnership. The easiest way to do this is to get in touch with your local Borough or District council.

"This will provide a real opportunity to put more officers back into our communities" - PCC David Munro's proposal to increase the council tax precept was today approved by the Surrey Police & Crime Panel.

The policing element of a Band D Council Tax bill will increase by £2 a month – the equivalent of around 10% across all bands. In return, the PCC has pledged to increase the number of officers and PCSOs in the county by 100 by April 2020.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our survey - we had nearly 6,000 responses with 75% in favour of the PCC's proposal.
